Most legal text books and practitioners' guides focus on the impact of financial services law and regulation on individual legal entities: the application of such law and regulation on a group basis is often a cursory afterthought, or neglected altogether. This book reverses the balance.It is the first book to fully and systematically address how groups of businesses within the financial services sector are regulated. It starts with the company law and corporate insolvency law foundations on which groups are established. It then builds up through prudential and resolution-driven regulation, focusing on how such regulations apply and operate at a consolidated group and sub-group level, to the structural responses from firms and counter-responses from legislators and regulators. This new work also considers the tensions that arise from the conflicts between authorities and legal systems on a cross-border basis, and between the formal legal system and the powers and agendas of the regulators. The book covers intragroup transactions, and the role that regulation plays requiring and restricting the movement of financial resources around groups. In its final section, the book applies the principles explored in previous sections to a wide range of transaction types.It is up-to-date as at July 2019, marking the culmination of over 10 years of intense regulatory change, addresses UK ring-fencing rules and EU and US intermediate parent undertaking requirements, and considers the impact of Brexit and the EU banking reform/risk reduction package.

Banks have long used credit protection tools like security, collateral arrangements, guarantees, and-more recently-securitization to manage credit risk. However, since the 2008-2009 financial crisis, as banks have been required to maintain more capital against their exposures, there has been ever-increasing pressure on banks to mitigate their credit exposures to specific clients so as to manage their capital more efficiently. Today, finance lawyers are increasingly required to ensure these arrangements meet stringent regulatory standards so as to effectively manage capital requirements.Credit Risk Mitigation and Synthetic Securitization comprehensively addresses the evolving rules and regulations governing the structuring and recognition of credit protection and securitization, with close reference to the global regulatory framework established by the Basel Accords, as well as specific UK and EU laws and regulatory policies. The book provides a detailed analysis of how, why, and when the relevant legal techniques function from a prudential regulatory perspective, including the Basel Framework, EU Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR), and UK Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) rules. Focusing on both traditional and modern legal tools including credit risk insurance and synthetic securitization, the book not only outlines the additional legal and regulatory requirements but also explains how these requirements can be satisfied in practice. It highlights common pitfalls faced by transactional and advisory lawyers and offers practical solutions and remedies.Authored by experienced practitioners who advise banks on the use and treatment of these products, Credit Risk Mitigation and Synthetic Securitization is an invaluable resource for practitioners seeking to navigate the complex legal and regulatory frameworks in the financial sector.
